Hello. I am new to Netdata and I am attempting to configure the following on a K8 stack:

- Using Python prometheus-client, I created a Counter metric and exposed this on port 8000 with start\_http\_server(8000) in my python code running on a pod
- Modified prometheus configmap to add a new target to scrape port 8000 and restarted prometheus server.
- New counter metric is now visible in Prometheus
- After installing Netdata and launching agent, I would like to view this new Prometheus target/metric on Netdata agent.

Does the Netdata Prometheus collector automatically detect this new target? I am having no luck viewing the metric on Netdata agent. I am thinking that a config change is needed but am having no luck so far. I added ‘127.0.0.1:8000/metrics’ to prometheus.conf on the parent pod, but still no luck. I also used ‘pod-ip:8000/metrics’ in prometheus.conf…no luck.

Any input much appreciated!

Hi, @rgary1964. I believe it should work if:

- Netdata [installed inside the K8s cluster](https://github.com/netdata/helmchart#netdata-helm-chart-for-kubernetes-deployments) (not directly on worker nodes).
- The pod (the one with 8000) has `prometheus.io/scrape: true` label.
- 8000 is exposed in the container of the Pod.

@ilyam8 this is great, but where in netdata cloud can I view / search for the prometheus metrics? Thanks.
